Did you know that I’ve been living so well? It’s not a dream; it’s my reality You wonder how I’ve been sleeping I was sinking and drinking for days Moved on been to four weddings Grown up still could in many ways I don’t need you anymore It’s just a fact; I’m not a wreck with you gone Have you looked up today? We see the clouds in different ways I see a rocket ship Finally blasted away into space Where my mind’s been drifting It’s been floating and flying for days I drove out to our old hideout Lit it up let it burn away I don’t need you anymore It’s just a fact; I’m not a wreck with you gone

Hello hello lady astronaut You’ve got that style that I dream about Pick me up when I’m feeling down I need you here to get me off the ground Let’s pack our bags forget the plans We’ll quit our jobs and start a band Let’s build a castle in the sand Let’s go to the beach Oh no oh no lady astronaut You’ve got my stomach tied up in knots I used to think that I had no shot Your love is all that I’ve really got Let’s pack our bags forget the plans We’ll quit our jobs and start a band Let’s build a castle in the sand Let’s go to the beach
3.
Oh baby why you treat me so bad? I’ve grown to accept it, but it’s getting in my head My heart wants your water, but my head knows it’s no good You’re my living breathing poison yet we’re both misunderstood And I, Oh I, Yea I, Oh I I know I tried That’s the way it goes It’s so lovely how we’ve come so far I’ve seen and done lots with you, but I wonder if we’re just a burnt out star Oh I, Yea I, Oh I I know I tried That’s the way it goes Do you remember the good times when it all just flowed? You were my waves, my everyday; the sand between my toes That’s the way it goes

Portland (free) 02:55
I saw you waiting by the door I always wondered what you’re waiting for You were depressed, I guess, a mess Searching for another shore I saw you packing all your bags Didn’t know that I was such a drag You hit the road alone no home Headed towards the west coast Well I’m sorry sweetie we just didn’t work out You didn’t quite get it so I’ll scream and shout I don’t wanna go to Portland I had to hear it from your friends How you thought I was a dead end You know we could have talked Or wrote or spoke said what needed to be said Why did you break my bong? Well now that’s really fucking wrong We went from rad to sad I’m glad I’ve gotten over being mad Well I’m sorry sweetie we just didn’t work out You didn’t quite get it so I’ll scream and shout I don’t wanna go to Portland You’re leaving Got your reasons Go if you wanna go I saw you waiting by the door I always wondered what you’re waiting for I saw you packing all your bags Didn’t know that I was such a drag I don’t wanna go to Portland (no I don’t wanna go)
5.
It’s so funny to me You complain and then you set me free These things happen It’s time to move on But now you keep coming back Telling my friends lies like they’re fact Keep on talking You’re looking so cool (you are so cool) If I could turn back time I still wouldn’t apologize I can’t take you coming around Shakes my head up and turns me upside down Less of you, more of me Ready to get back on my feet It’s simple You’re erratic Short sighted Over dramatic Tried to run this town Then burnt it to the ground If I could change your mind I still wouldn’t apologize I can’t take you coming around Shakes my head up and turns me upside down Less of you, more of me Ready to get back on my feet If I could press rewind (if I could make you mine) I still wouldn’t apologize I can’t take you I could break you I can’t take you I can’t take you coming around (I won’t take you) Shakes my head up and turns me upside down Less of you, more of me Ready to get back on my feet

The California seed is growing inside me Oh what a beautiful dream; it’s cocaine in my bloodstream I can feel that tree Stretching and infesting me And all the green in DC Can’t compare to one leaf I promise you I’ll be home soon Oh, California you’ve got my soul held in your hands I try to make you proud of me, but I’m not sure you’d want me back The California seed is growing inside me Oh it’s a beautiful scene; it’s cocaine in my bloodstream I promise you I’ll be home soon Oh, California you’ve got my soul held in your hands I try to make you proud of me, but I’m not sure you’d want me back Oh, California California Just breathe it in Just breathe it out Just breathe it in Just breathe it out Oh, California you’ve got my soul held in your hands I try to make you proud of me, but I’m not sure you’d want me back Oh, California California

Dwell On It 03:06
I can’t tell what you’re thinking I can’t climb inside your skull So please tell me what’s going on Please tell me what you want I’m not sure why I did that No, I can’t explain myself So can we live it off? Just play it down? Let ourselves move on? You’re about to lose your head Life’s too short Life’s too quick To dwell on it Just let it go But your brain works crazy Or maybe it’s just me It’s not the first time; it’s not the worst time We’re repeating history My bad I didn’t mean it Just blame it on my friends The boys we drank too much we smoked a ton Fuck we had some fun We’re about to lose our heads Life’s too short Life’s too quick To dwell on it Just let it go Let’s plant us like roses this year We’ve got some thorns, but our potential is clear You’ll glow red and glisten I’ll be that thorn hang on and listen Do anything to keep you near Life’s too short Life’s too quick To dwell on it Just let it go

Stay 03:14
You’re gone I wish that I knew why I said those things to you I’m wrong Can’t justify those words though I’ve said them all before You said you’re coming back to grab a few things I’ve never been so scared to tell you how I feel Stay We’ll shine another day We’ll be okay I swear I’ll make a change I’ll be honest I know that it’s not the best for me But if I were you I’d say “fuck off” and leave That wouldn’t surprise me But don’t fight it You’re everything I want I won’t hide it You’re all the things I’m not You said I could try, but you might just walk away It’s so simple I just want you to Stay We’ll shine another day We’ll be okay I swear I’ll make a change You’re gone I wish that I knew why I said those things to you I’m wrong Can’t justify those words though I’ve said them all before Stay We’ll shine another day We’ll be okay I swear I’ll make a change If I were you I’d say goodbye

Monster 03:17
Close your eyes Take yourself back to that time We were just kids trying to fit in Didn’t know anything about it I’d wake up with his hands around my neck So know I’ve got your back So turn the lights on I hear the monster he’s coming down my hall Mom, can’t we bury it? He finds that treasure you know that I’ll be fighting him It’s not right But let yourself move on with your life We were just kids trying to fit in Didn’t know anything about it I’d wake up with his hands around my neck So know I’ve got your back So turn the lights on I hear the monster he’s coming down my hall Mom, can’t we bury it? He finds that treasure you know that I’ll be fighting him Is he coming today? Is he coming tonight? Will I wake up again? Will I put up a fight? So turn the lights on I hear the monster he’s coming down my hall Mom, can’t we bury it? He finds that treasure you know that I’ll be fighting him

How did I waste all my time? Those years I must have been pretty blind You wanted me stay ordinary All so you could feel fine It never crossed my brain Until Paul lit me up and said it a different way You never hated me you hated yourself It’s so sad to finally say I know I’ll forget you It’s so strange you thought I’d miss you You said you didn’t like what I did Couldn’t respect the things that I love I let myself do anything for you In the end it was more than I should How did I waste all my time? Those years I must have been pretty blind You wanted me stay mediocre All so you could feel fine I know I’ll forget you It’s so strange you thought I’d miss you Yea things are so much better without you
11.
How are you? You seem really happy I miss you I need you right beside me It’s been far too long Can’t wait till you’re out here in my arms California’s waiting All the birds are singing You’re just a few weeks away from me San Francisco’s freezing You help me keep believing 3000 miles won’t keep you away from me It hit me when I cross the Appalachians Those mountains capture imagination Why did I leave? When you’re the only thing I need California’s waiting All the birds are singing You’re just a few weeks away from me San Francisco’s freezing You help me keep believing 3000 miles won’t keep you away from me How are you? I wanna know California’s waiting All the birds are singing You’re just a few weeks away from me San Francisco’s freezing You help me keep believing 3000 miles won’t keep you away from me I remember the day and the way You swallowed your pain like a crashing wave No I won’t see you today, but I’ll see you another Yea I’ll see you another
